19 Teach us what we will tell him,
    for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
20 Will it be told him that I would speak?
    Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies,
    but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor.
    With God is awesome majesty.
23 We can’t reach the Almighty.
    He is exalted in power.
    In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24 Therefore men revere him.
    He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”

19 “Teach us what we will say to Him,
    for we cannot prepare our speech because of the darkness.
20 Will it be told Him that I speak?
    If a man speaks, surely he will be swallowed up.
21 Now men do not see the bright light
    which is in the clouds,
    but the wind passes and cleanses them.
22 Fair weather comes out of the north;
    with God is terrible majesty.
23 Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find Him out;
    He is excellent in power, and in judgment,
    and in much righteousness He will not oppress.
24 Men therefore fear Him;
    He shows no partiality to those who are wise in heart.”
